   Lucky you. Did you ever get a floppy drive for it?   
      
   I never did for the TRS-80 - but I did with the PET 4040 and the Commode Door   
   64. MY first game for the Radio Shack item was a Nuclear Reactor "simulation"   
   that I typed in from Creative Computing. Spent a lot of hours futzing with   
   that one.  Bv)=   
      
   Then I saw an Apple I playing Temple of Apshai *IN COLOUR*. I'd have killed   
   for colour. And would have had to stick up a gas station or liquor store to   
   buy one - given the price. The VIC-20 and C=64 were much more wallet friendly   
   for a colour display. Never, ever owned an Apple computer of any sort.   
      
   ... 350 cubic inch V8? That's an enormous can of vegetable juice!
